Subject: Sandow: The Original Strongman!

Sandow was a true original and did it all before steroids and supplements. It does beg the question-- how does that leaf stay on? Did they have double-sided tape at that time? It may require some research. A personal fav is pg.217-- Sandow doing pushups on a mound of leopard and polar bear skins. I'm sure he killed them with his bare hands, so at least it was a fair fight.
A must-read!
